Appetite

Among bald hills Ceased udders, dry dales Bleeding ploughshare And sweating shaft Deserted flora and fauna Searching for the ray of life To proceed though faint Barks ‘n rags for clothing Leafy sheds for shelter And stones to postpone hunger Is but the way of life. In headlines for some days A stunt for some to ladder In archery- To bridge the ebony with apple skinned A handful of blessing For a mouthful food A hug indifferent The act of fraternity. Before a congregation Among flashes many To garnish the next day’s news With spice savage “You believe it- So far It has deferred our appetite” And to the shock of everyone “Or Have a taste To experiment yours.”
